Our helpful hints and tips (not quite life hacks...):

• How to get a job with no experience: Job Seeker Tips | Ingeus
• Identify your skills and positive attributes
  • Write them down
  • Practise telling someone what's on your list and how you know it is true (and useful)
• Try volunteering
  • The main positive of this is that you build up experience without affecting your benefits
  • This is a really positive indicator for a future employer that you are serious and dedicated
